KRS-One Signs to Duck Down Records
August 24th, 2007 by Ming-Tzu
Glad to see KRS finally found an established label to push his new solo album proper. Let’s hope a KRS and Buckshot collabo album is in the works. And that 9th Wonder doesn’t produce it. Link

In an exclusive interview with XXLMag.com, Black Moon front man, Buckshot, has announced that Duck Down Records has signed the legendary KRS-One. “Yeah, we just signed KRS-One to Duck Down,” Buckshot told XXLMag.com. “He’s on my label now. We’re going hard, as far as production wise.” Buckshot, who is co-CEO of Duck Down Records with Dru Ha, is also working another album with producer 9th Wonder entitled The Formula. The LP is the follow up to 2005’s Chemistry. “It’s a whole different time,” Buck says in regards to the album’s direction. ‘It’s a different scene. It’s a reflection of what needs to be said and it’s my manifestation. I’m trying to show people that I’m actually greater at what I do then what is perceived when I come up with concepts and stories. The things I do lyrically on this album aren’t easy. That’s the whole point of hip-hop, to do what’s not easy.” The Formula will be released this fall.

Great news indeed. I'm looking forward to the next Buckshot/9th collabo as well. The Duck Down triple play back in 2005 was great. Any news on a new Smif-N-Wessun album? I thought Reloaded was the best album in that DD triple play.

Yeah Duck Down has been doing the damn thing on the indie tip the last couple of years. This is a good look for KRS.
